Leonard Hamilton knows if his Florida State basketball team is going to get out of its recent funk, they’re going to have to turn it up another notch as the regular season winds down.
It’s been a struggle for the Seminoles (13-10, 6-7 ACC), who have lost five straight games for the first time since the 2015-16 season. The loss of veterans Malik Osborne (ankle) and Anthony Polite (hand), as well as freshman center Naheem McLeod (hand) to injuries, has put added stress to an already young and inexperienced squad.
FSU is shooting 39.5% (112-of-283) from the floor during the recent downturn, down from 44.
